Yuan Xuan lay on the side of Yuan Nan'an's bed, sitting on the ground with his head resting on the edge of the bed.
One of his hands was unable to move, but the other hand was tightly holding Yuan Nanan's hand.
Lying there in a very twisted posture.
Yuan Nan'an stared at him.
She found that she had never looked at Yuan Xuan so attentively and carefully.
She still remembered the first time she saw him when she returned to Beijing with her mother.
What was it like back then?
Yuan Nan'an can't quite remember.
At that time, her heart was full of longing for a new life. She only heard her mother say that this was her cousin, the prince's legitimate son.
Before returning to the capital, her mother told her many things about etiquette, hierarchy, and royal families that she should pay attention to in the capital.
She knew Yuan Xuan's noble status without anyone telling her.
Yuan Nan'an only remembered that when they first met, he was dressed in gorgeous clothes and stood next to the Crown Princess, acting dignified and polite.
Although he is not much older than her, he is also very elegant.
When she was still not familiar with the rules of the capital, Yuan Xuan was like a duck in water in these matters.
When she was amazed by the towering walls of the imperial palace and the solemnity of the guards Mori Yuan when she saw them for the first time, Yuan Xuan came and went freely, as if it were his own home.
Yuan Nan'an originally thought that he was aloof, but after getting to know him, he found that he was a very nice person.
Always looking at her with a smile.
He patiently taught her over and over again when she didn't understand something, and he waited patiently for her when she was slow.
Gradually she discovered that he also had a bad temper and was childish.
These days, she cherishes all her hard-earned wealth and is determined to make herself stronger.
This is the only way to protect myself, my mother, and my younger siblings, and prevent them from suffering what they experienced in Yangzhou.
She has few friends and spends all her time trying to become stronger.
But now she came to her senses and realized that there was someone who had been with her all this time.
She turned her head to look at Yuan Xuan who was sleeping awkwardly, and moved slightly to get closer to him.
The hand moved slightly, and the hand that was originally held was pulled out.
The sleeping person felt his palms were empty and subconsciously called out "Nannan", trying to hold on harder.
But in a moment, calm was restored.
Both of them gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The moon shone through the gap in the window, illuminating the two people's interlocked hands.
…
The two delegations were still staying in the royal gardens. Yuan Nan'an was ill, and Jing Yang often came to visit her.
Helian Yu came with her from time to time, but he spent most of his time talking with Yuan Musheng.
Sometimes, Yuan Zhao looked at Helian Yu from afar, wondering what he was thinking.
Perhaps noticing something strange about her, Yuan Musheng asked her that day, "Why does mother always pay special attention to the Second Young Master Helian?"
Yuan Zhao looked around and noticed that Huo Yan was not there, so he asked Yuan Musheng,
"Sheng'er, you have a good relationship with the Second Young Master Helian. Have you ever heard him mention his family?"
Yuan Musheng didn't know why Yuan Zhao suddenly asked about this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "He doesn't often mention it. He only vaguely mentioned that his father was from the Central Plains..."
Yuan Zhao's guess was somewhat confirmed, but it was not completely certain.
"But..." Yuan Musheng thought of something and said with a smile, "Although Brother Helian is from Northern Qiang, he admires Uncle Huo very much!"
"What?" Yuan Zhao's thoughts were interrupted, and he asked again, "Who do you admire?"
"Uncle Huo." Yuan Musheng raised his eyebrows. "Brother Helian has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He said he grew up listening to stories about the Huo family army. Although they are enemies, he has always respected the invincible Uncle Huo."
"He also said it was a pity that he didn't meet Uncle Huo this time, otherwise he might have met him on the battlefield next time..."
Yuan Zhao felt mixed emotions.
Yuan Cheng has already sent people to Beiqiang to investigate. He and Huo Yan also have many guesses in their minds, but all of them are invalid.
Maybe Helian Yu and Huo Zhengze are just similar.
But if it wasn’t…
What will Huo Yan face?
Yuan Zhao decided to go to the palace to meet Emperor Xuan.
There are some things that only father and daughter know.
…
Qinzheng Hall.
Emperor Xuan recently handed over all the political affairs at hand to Yuan Cheng and Yuan Heng. He had been working hard for half his life, and it was a rare opportunity for him to take a break and be lazy.
This was also the first time Zheng Lu had seen His Majesty like this.
He actually handed over the political affairs to the Crown Prince, and spent his days in the palace playing chess, drinking tea, and appreciating flowers.
There were even several days when no ministers came to the Qinzheng Hall.
Those who wanted to come and see His Majesty were also refused by His Majesty.
You must know that Your Majesty was not willing to give up power in the past.
But Zheng Lu saw that His Majesty's complexion was getting better and better, and knew that His Majesty must have a plan in mind. He also knew that although His Majesty did not care, secret reports of all matters, big and small, inside and outside the palace were sent to the Qinzheng Hall every day.
For this reason, Zheng Lu cheerfully asked Emperor Xuan, "Your Majesty, the spring weather is beautiful these days. How about Your Majesty also spend some time in the imperial gardens?"
"It just so happens that the princess and several young men and women are here, so Your Majesty can go and enjoy some family happiness."
Emperor Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let's wait for a while until the people from those two countries leave."
"While they are there, I cannot rest in peace either."
Just then, someone outside came in and announced, "Your Majesty, Princess Showa requests an audience."
Emperor Xuan raised his chin and said meaningfully, "Look, I didn't go, and someone else came."
Zheng Lu smiled and heard Emperor Xuan let the princess in.
He bowed to Yuan Zhao and then left with everyone in the hall.
Yuan Zhao came alone, bringing only Gan Tang and Bi Yun.
